Description
Timothy Venning explores the whole of the lordship of the Isles at tits widest extent, under Smelled MacGillebride(ruled c.1130-64), encompassing the kingdom of Man during its independent history, plus the mainland domains of Somerled’s family in the western Highlands. He also covers the earldom of Orkney, a Scandinavian lordship divided between involvement in and allegiance to Scotland and Norway until the later fifteenth century.
